Buffalo Moths.

The pests known as Buffalo moths prevail
in many localities along the Hudson River, and
in the aggregate the loss they have entailed is
large. All sorts of devices, including benzine,
have been used by busy housewives for the
determination of the pests, but without avail.
They infest bureau draws, and riddle holes in linen
and in all kinds of dry goods. They are found
in closets and wardrobes, in trunks and under car
pets. In some places these little furry coated
moths pursue their way SO industriously that
housewives do not fasten down their carpets, as
they have to be lifted regularly every day to kill
the moths

@-The Baltimore Evening Ne1s of Wednes-
day, issued only few hours before the State
Democratic convention, which was then in session,
had made its nominations, said:
"If the convention makes platform day, it
will be necessary in that instrument to point with
pride to the record of the party in this State for
several years past The best, and, in fact, only
part of that record which will commend the party
to the voters generally is its financial work. That
work is so largely associated with Comptroller
Turner that unless he is nominated upon the
ticket the platform MIL hs c~sss. III. rs.sz
must be open to the charge Of insincerity in its
professions of economy if it thrusts aside the man
who had more to do with the making of the best
part of the record than any other"
The Ne,os is a Democratic newspaper. The con-
vention did not nominate Turner. Now, what
are you going to do about it

@g-The sensational preacher who tries to fill
the pews of his church and gain little cheap no.
toriety by advertising to preach sermons with
slang profane titles is to be found everywhere.
The latest and most obnoxious representative of
this class of clerical sensation mongers to obtrude
himself on the public is the Rev. J. B. Koehne,
pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
Pittsburg. The title of his last Sunday nights
discourse was "Damn It." Mr.. Koehne promises
to follow this discourse with others, entitled GLOW

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.

The Democratic State convention, which met in
Governor Hon. Elihu e. jackson, of Wicomico
county for Comptroller of the Treasury, Col. L.
Victor Baughman, of Frederick county, and for
Attorney General, Hon. William Pinkney Whyte,
of Baltimore city. Five names were placed in
nomination for Governor-Jackson, Baughman,
Mayor Hodges, Postmaster Frank Brown and
Stevenson Archer. Charles B. Roberts withdrew
before the convention met. Jackson was chosen
on the sixth ballot, his strongest competitor being
Baughman, who held thirty -four votes to the last.
Mr.. Jackson is fifty years of age, plain, un-
assuming, shrewd and very wealthy business man.
He was raised on farm. When quite young
man he kept country store and from that he
gradually embarked in the lumber business with
his father and brother under the firm name of E..
e. jackson & Co. They established lumber and
planning mills, bought large tracts of timber lands
in Virginia and other Southern States and built
up an immense business. In 1882 he was elected
member of the House of Delegates from Wi
comico was elected State Senator in 1884, and
was chosen President of the Senate when Lloyd
became Governor. These were the only political
offices ever held by him. Mr.. Jackson is q men,
Der of the M. E. Church South. He has a wife
and five children and resides in an elegant man
sion in which he dispenses the most generous hos
pitality.
Col. Baughman is a resident Of Frederick city,
where for years he has been connected with o
newspaper called the Republican Citizen. For
several years he has been president of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and last fall was the
Democratic nominee for Congress in the Sixth dis
trict. He made gallant fight but was defeated
| by Hon. L. E. McComas. Col. Baughman is q
| young man, full of energy, good stump speaker
| L.s, q. popularity IN western Maryland
| As president of the Canal he has made good
record, and his nomination is particularly accepta-
BILE to the young element of his party. Col.
| Baughman is a son-in-law of Mr.. A. S. Abel, of
| the Baltimore Sun.
In the selection of Mr.. Whyte for Attorney
| General the convention did a wise thing. He
needs no introduction to the people of Maryland.
He has filled the highest Offices within their gift,
and as lawyer he stands at the head of the bar.
He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, strict temperance man, and polished
gentleman. His nomination will satisfy the re-
form element in the party and his name undoubt-
eddy adds great strength to the ticket.
On the whole the ticket is q strong one-the
best that could have been selected from the ma
terial presented. Of course it is charged that it
is "cut- land dried" affair, put up by Senator
German, but whether this is true or not, justice
compels us to say that it is good ticket and one
that will command the party vote.

monium, and tell him what it really is. We very

noisy one-worse, perhaps, than any of its prede-
cessors but it can be said to the credit of the dele

Every gathering of this kind is attended by a
large number of "heelers," and it was these fell
lows who turned the convention into a regular
bear garden. If they could have been kept out of
aconvention the business could have been disposed
of in half the time.

gg>A fact that deserves to be widely noted
and carefully studied is that even in communities
of recognized law.abiding character, those laws
relating to the liquor traffic studiously violated.
There is no State in the Union where the laws are
moro scrupulousIy enforced than in Rhode Island.
Yet the prohibition law in that Commonwealth
is pronounced failure. In the city of Providence
liquor is said to be sold almost without restraint.
In many places all the usual signs of the traffic
are to be seen and no concealment is attempted.
Similar cases in other prohibition communities
are also noted. Why can all the other laws be en-
forced and not this one Why do men yield obedi-
ence to them all save one?

@-H one-half that is said about the conduct
ofsome of the county policemen at the Democratic
primaries last week be true, every man who thus
disgraced his Office should be promptly turned of
the force. These officers are paid by the tax
payers of the county, irrespective of party, per
form certain duties, and when they neglect those
duties and openly engage in active political work,
an example should be made of them. A police
man has as good right to vote as private citi-
zen has, but he has no right to actively participate
in political contests by holding tickets at the polls
importuning voters and even using bull DOING
TACTICS as we are told some of them did last week.

@-Pretty soon Mr.. William Daniel will be
coming along with his Prohibition ticket for Bal
timore county. 1t will be good one when it
does come, we have no doubt, but what will be-
come of it That is the question. 1t is self
evident fact that a temperance ticket cannot win
in this county, no matter of what material it is
composed, but if the gentlemen whose names are
placed upon it enjoy the fun of running, no one
can find fault with them. The liquor element in
Baltimore county is powerful and it requires a
great deal of nerve to undertake to down it.

m-Judge James D. Waters, after very holly
contested fight in Hartford county on Saturday
last, came off victorious, beating his opponent,
George Y. Maynadier, ESQ.,, by about two hundred
votes. 1t was the most exciting contest that the
Hartford people have had in some years, and the
bad feeling that was engendered will no doubt re-
main to make trouble for some time. There can
be no question that Judge Waters has made an
exceptionally able and conscientious judge and
this being the case he deserves the confidence of
the community, and will be heartily supported by
his party friends in Baltimore county.

MrSince Mondays convention there has been
considerable talk in some quarters of putting up
an Independent Democratic ticket in Baltimore

have been offered to furnish the sinews of war for
the campaign. 1t is not believed, however, that
anything will come of it, and that the present dis

There was never yet nominated ticket that pleas

is about as good as the average Democratic ticket
good enough at least to poll very nearly the full
strength of the party, and that, of course, means
success. ----
